Colonia Vaniglia

Just got this, Bought blindly as per fragrantica’s ’remind me of’ section - trying to find smth similar to traversee du bosphore. My first fail (again because of Fragrantica remind me of section) was skin on skin (awful), at least this ‘Fail’ is a gorgeous vanilla scent, far from basic, and very far from being masculine! At best, it’s a unisex frag but in all honestly, and let’s be real : this is a fem scent! Good find all in all, this vanilla is gourmand like at the dry down

my opinion : one of best Vanilla fragrance in market very seductive and compliments getter The scent is gourmand-sweet opened with Bergamot, Mandarin orange then dry down with Vanilla well blended with jasmine and little Musk the longevity is great around 8 hours easily with very good projection & silage for first 3 hours then powerful skin scent in general I love Acqua Di Parma , and this is one of my top 5

This is the sixth in my brown bottle collection, and it follows Oud, Leather, Mirra, Amber and Ebano. As it is plain to see, I have quite an affinity with this line! The others all in the main share a lot of character and I would say in my (limited experience) opinion this is by far the most different of the brood. Sweet, floral and Gormand but with background hallmark barbershop accents. It's VERY unisex and leans slightly feminine. I would certainly choose others in the range before Vaniglia; Oud, Leather and Amber being my favourites. That said, this is a very distinct fragrance and certainly not one I plan to move on any time soon.

The notes seem feminine to unisex, on me , it’s completely spicy and musky with a hint of vanilla in the background. Definitely a masculine blend with my chemistry, getting , V&R - Spice Bomb vibes, gave to my husband, he really liked it !

I’ve wanted to grab a sample of this hard-to-find member of the Ingredients Collection and whilst some of AdP’s brown bottles can be hit-or-miss for my personal tastes, unfortunately this Vaniglia is a real failure. It opens up with a middle-aged and matronly literature teacher smell of very sweet ‘strawberry shortcake with hints of meringue’ vibe that fades into what reminds me of my grandmothers bowl of pot-pourri. This is NOT a masculine perfume by any stretch of the imagination and coming from a perfume house that has produced some great fragrances it seems AdP have really dropped the ball on Vaniglia and decided to completely bypass the process of perfumery altogether.
